    Just learning how to FMQ. Was pleased with how it went for the most part. Almost feel ready enough to try FMQ on the quilt for kids I have pieced and sandwiched and ready to go. Going to practice some more first.
    This wallhanging was really fun to make. The pictures were "extras" that came with the panel I got from Hobby Lobby. The binding was scraps from some curtains I made. All I really had to buy for this was the background fabric!
    The tan outline is my wall - not part of the wallhanging! :shock:

    Applique and FMQ

    I always keep a small piece layered and practice about 10 minutes each time before I FMQ. Then I switch over to the quilt or whatever I'm working on.
